Links mysteriously open new browser tab - only for some users - wordpress

OK, this is a head scratcher.
On a Wordpress site I've made, one particular item of the main menu always opens a new tab when clicked. But only for some users. They claim that it happens on four different Computers (in IE, FF and Safari) as well as on their iPad. I can not recreate the problem at all.
Of course there is no target="_blank" there.
Any pointers as to where to look? I'm at my wits' end.

Code working correctly only in incognito mode

I created an owl carousel with many items in it. I use javascript fetch to get data and then i insert the data in this items. The problem is that this works only for the items that are displayed on the screen when the page loads. If i scroll to the next item which is hidden at first then the data are missing. The weird thing is that this doesn't happen if i open the website in incognito mode. Everything works perfect there. How is it possible for a code to work correctly only in incognito mode? The website is this https://bet-prognostika.com/ and the carousel is on top of the homepage. The season overall number and the number in front of new pick(s) are the ones that i insert using fetch.

What can i actually do if my wordpress dashboard is acting up? other admins of my site dont have these problems

-In the past i could hover over any item in the dashboard i.e. settings and its inner elements would show such as general, reading, writing.
Now i need to click on settings > page navigates to settings > now i can see the elements
-In plugins i cant navigate to other tabs, whenever i click on the tabs nothing happens. Feels broken.
-when i go to appearance > editor all my php and css files and such are expanded and there is no way to collapse as clicking on the arrows does nothing. I have to scroll the whole time to find a file.
-whenever i check page revisions it shows a blank page.
Other admins of my website dont have any of these problems i listed!
Has anyone had this before? Thanks in advance!
You mentioned others aren't having the same problem. That would indicate it has to do with something on your side of things.
Try another web browser.
Try another computer.

Website doesn't load portfolio content on mobile

I just made a website using a Wordpress theme and it all works good on desktop computers. However, while the site initially loads normally on my phone (I'm using iPhone 6 with iOS9, but the problem is the same on Android phones too, I tried two), once I click on the portfolio item, it loads a blank page (header and footer only).
When I tap on the address bar, I notice that it never went to the right link at first place (the portfolio item link), it just shows the homepage link and there is no content.
I managed to fix the problem by entering the external URL in portfolio item options. It was still internal link from the site but I made the link open the new tab (if it doesn't open new tab, the problem stays the same). However, if I choose to go back to the homepage from that link (the portfolio item link), the homepage is blank, there is only header and footer so the problem returns again.
Just so you know, the first portfolio item contains the external link outside the Wordpress and that one opens normally.
What is wrong with the mobile site?
The site URL is: http://svenharambasic.com
The screenshot is attached. Thank you!
P.S. There are also google ads showing, I never encountered that before, but I'll work on that once this is solved.
I only see a white screen upon clicking any of the homepage portfolio image links (except for the first link which goes to an external site in a new tab) on desktop and on mobile actually. There is a content_inner class with inline styling setting visibility:hidden.
It's unclear to me why it's doing that- maybe to remove focus from the body and draw focus towards something that is supposed to appear in the foreground but does not? If I remove visibility:hidden from the element in the browser, I see a series of additional images appear, which seems to me to be more an expected behavior. Are we on the right track?
I managed to solve this, it was the setting in the theme options; I had to disable grid lines... I can't say I truly understand why, but it worked!

Links don't open new page in Safari Iphone browser unless you hold and select Open/Open in New Page

I am working with a Wordpress site, and recently the links have become deprecated in the mobile Safari browser. None of the links will allow you to click through with the usual touch gestures, though the links animate as if they have been clicked. The user now must hold down the link until Safari's menu pops up and select 'open'. My question is what could be causing this, and how do I fix it?
This happens occasionally with WP themes that come bundled with other plugins. The plugins that come in these bundles sometimes do not update properly or at all until the theme developers update the theme, causing glitches and compatibility issues. Not all themes are created equal.

Back button loop with IFRAMES

In my (school) website we use Iframes to display class blogs (on blogger). This works well EXCEPT if the user then clicks on (say) a photo inside the iframe. Blogger (in this case) then displays the photo in the whole browser window and the back button loops; that is if the back button is hit, the browser (IE, FF, Chrome) stays on the same page. The only way out is for the user to jump back two pages (which many of our users don't know how to do).
I've read a lot of posts on back buttons and iframes and there doesn't appear to be a simple solution. Bear in mind that I don't have control over the iframe content (so no embedded back buttons in the frame are possible). Ideas anyone?
The solution I would use would be to loop through the iframe content after it has been loaded and set target attributes on links in the iframe so that they open in either the iframe, or in a new window. Here's an example using jQuery:
$('#iframeID').contents().find('a').attr('target', '_blank');
You could do something similar using a loop and DOM methods, I'll post some code to do that if your not sure how to go about it.
EDIT: can't access the content if its cross domain, so this wouldn't work in this case
